Expo — le tour des pays de la francophonie A Social Studies and Language Arts project, called Expo, has become a tradition in grade six late French immersion. January until May is dedicated to research, note taking, writing, editing and visual projects, all focused on one of the Francophone countries of the world, which make up la Francophonie. So just what is the //Francophonie// ? In partners or small groups, students choose a Francophone country they would like to learn more about. Each week students generate thoughtful questions around a topic that interests them. Students use the Internet to locate information about their chosen topic and take notes. Using the information found, students create a draft trying to answer as many questions as they can. The draft is edited and then published. A visual art project accompanies each topc. Expo is an 8 - 10 week project, in which each week a different student chosen topic is researched and responded to. At the end, an exposition of the countries is hosted. Students, acting as ambassadors to their countries, teach visiting classes, families and guests about their country. Expo — le tour des pays de la francophonie Alors qu'est-ce la francophonie?

Expo — le tour des pays de la francophonie Dear Students Throughout this project you will ask burning questions to go with a topic that you choose to research about your country. You'll use the Internet to try to find some answers from French websites to your questions and will take notes. From your notes, you'll write a draft in paragraph format, edit it with two peers and your teacher and then publish a final copy. You'll also chose a visual art project to accompany your subject. You will carefully collect your weekly topics in a box. You will be working in groups of 2 or 3 and will share the work. Remember you are all on the same team and that your goals are the same. You'll be asked to follow a weekly plan and will be evaluated according to the weekly evaluation. After researching roughly 10 different subjects to go with your country, you will be asked to assemble a pavillion. As an ambassador to your country, you will be ready to respond in French and in English to any questions regarding your topics that visitors may ask.

Some areas to look for are audios of the national anthem or music, virtual tours, photographs and maps, and any topic this list. Ressources
